“She was great. Needed help last min for my pets and she was very good with my pups ( they have their own issues) and did a great job. Responded quickly to my messages and made me feel good about having to be out of town for a bit. Would book again!”

“Anthea is amazing! This is our second time having her watch our dogs and it is so nice knowing the level of care and attention they will get while we are away. Anthea had great communication during the entire stay and sent us daily updates with lots of photos. If you are looking for reliable and exceptional care for you pet, look no further. We already have our next stay booked with her later this summer.”

“Mya was on time and followed all instructions. She was comfortable feeding a raw diet and with walks. I enjoyed getting pictures and she responded to text promptly.”

“Zoe was, again, fantastic. Turns out that one of my little chihuahuas needed to be held all weekend, and Zoe took it in stride. She let my dogs sleep on (in) her bed, which I am so grateful for. Eye drops were administered for one of my dogs. Both of the dogs love Zoe, and so do I. I recommend her highly. ~ Laurel”

“Eva was great with our two dogs. She is very communicative, prompt, and followed care instructions. We arrived to a clean home and happy pups. Would definitely book with Eva in the future!”

“Sarah was great with our 2 crazy dogs!”

“Amanda was super good with Marshall and kept me update as I was on a week long trip. She too photos and send updates regularly while away. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Savanna was lovely! My dog and cat seemed to get along with her very well. She also was kind enough to manage our dog during the last week of her Heat and took it seriously. It was unfortunate timing but all went well and we really appreciated her. The house also looked great and overall things went very well. I would highly recommend her!”

“Mayra is the absolute best! She took wonderful care of our senior cat, Abbey, who can be a little shy with people she doesn’t know. Mayra kept me updated with photos of Abbey having fun with her and was so thoughtful in all her messages. She made everything easy, from the meet and greet to the key hand-offs, and she treated our home with real care and respect. It was such a relief to know Abbey was in good hands so I could make the most of my time away. Thank you, Mayra!”

“Atlas did an excellent job caring for our animals while we were away and sent a lot of photos and updates. We will definitely reach out to Atlas for our future pet sitting needs!”

Sara A.

“Jung was so patient and sweet with my nervous pup. She took so much care to help her feel comfortable and loved. Jung was very responsive in our communication and asked questions to make sure she was attending to my pup’s needs. Jung is a highly responsible, dependable, and communicative sitter that I would absolutely trust to take care of my pup again. Plus she’s just a cool person all around. I’m fortunate to have found her! Thank you so much, Jung!”

Felicia D.

“Dylan did such a great job with my dog. I was a little nervous about how my dog would take to a new person but it worked out wonderfully. Dylan is patient and caring. Will definitely book again.”

April R.

“Michael was very easy to work with and helped me keep my mind at ease while I was gone. He's attentive to care instructions and communicative as well!”

Victor L.

“Madelyn did a great job with my timid puppy. She recognized that Libby didn't need to be touched and just talked to her and gave her attention for afar. The perfect response. Madelyn also responded to my emails and text quickly. She sent me pictures of Libby daily. I would highly recommend her.”

Diana S.

“Penny was kind, punctual, and communicated well. The pictures she sent of my pup while I was away showed how comfortable my high anxiety dog was with her. I would recommend her and definitely book her again.”

Tiffany S.

“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I would love to spend my extra hours helping care for other’s pets. They’re basically our family members so I know the importance of making sure your animal is taken care of while you’re at work, vacationing, etc. I have two dogs and a cat of my own- they are all super friendly (my cat thinks he is a dog) I’m a stay-at-home mom to a three year old boy (who also thinks he’s a dog). Whether your pet is spending time at my home, staying at your home, or just going for a nice walk- your fur baby will have a great day! Like I mentioned before, I’m at home all day so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to hang out with your pet!

“Philipp was an absolute gift to my dog Nugget This was the first time for me to leave Nugget at home with a sitter and he took to Philipp right a way so much so that he was busy licking his face and didn’t even notice when I left home. The two weeks passed without any issues medication and meal schedule were kept the same by Philipp to minimize stress for Nugget who deals with an autoimmune disorder. I received reassuring photos and messages while on my trip. I could tell that Nugget was sad after Philipp went back to his home. Thank you Philipp for making my trip worry free”
